I am a Senior AI Scientist and Project Manager in Digital Technology and Innovation (DTI) at Siemens Healthineers, under the team of Dr. Ali Kamen and led by Dr. Dorin Comaniciu. Prior to this, I completed my Ph.D. dissertation defense at Vanderbilt University, where I focused on artificial intelligence in healthcare (specifically Lung Cancer Risk Estimation) under the supervision of Prof. Bennett Landman. I have closely collaborated with Dr. Yuankai Huo, Dr. Thomas Lasko, and lung cancer clinical experts Dr. Pierre Massion & Dr. Kim Sandler. I also completed an exciting internship at Siemens Healthineers, where I was mentored by Dr. Zhoubing Xu and Dr. Sasa Grbic.

I completed my Master's degree at Tsinghua Unversity, focused on computer vision. During my master's period, I was fortunate to have spent time at Tencent YouTu x-lab which was lead by Prof. Jiaya Jia, and Imsight Technology working with Dr. Hao Chen.

I'm broadly interested in artificial intelligence methodology and driven by a passion for advancing clinical domains with AI. My current focus on advanced radiotherapy using various AI technologies, such as generative models and reinforcement learning, reflects my dedication to advancing patient care.
